Marseille, Avignon & Aix-en-Provence, France – 15-22 August We left Spain behind and entered southern France heading toward the port city of Marseille. The train ride was comfy, as we hoped and expected.

Sonia!
We are back in torino now and I still have to post about our stay in Lyon but honestly 3 weels is too much. At least until this Yankee gets used to so much vacation time. I have never taken this much time off and it's weird. The places are cool and all but I still feel that a week or two is all God allows man to have lesiure. That said, if you ever want to visit please let me know and we will accomodate. Torino is a great place to use as a base of ops when you go off to other great Italian destinations. Ciao and please say Hi to John, Laurie, Bo and anyone else you might see there. Gary

Great pics and prose Gary, thanks! Vacation for August is the way to go--I wish we had that in the US. Seems like a good way to avoid burning out.
